Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Clarksburg, WV: Saucerian Books, 1963. First Edition. Stated. Quarto, stapled wraps, 79 pp. + book ads. Toning at the margins of the covers (see scan), otherwise a crisp Near Fine - rather startlingly, as this historic title from early UFO lore was inexpensively made and easily worn and damaged. A true, stated first edition of Barker's accumulation of information on the curious suicide of UFO author/researcher Morris K. Jessup. That his suicide - from "acute carbon monoxide intoxication", per the included facsimile of the actual death certificate included here- was questionable for several reasons (probably most notably his assumed activities with regard to the investigation of the Navy's alleged "Philadelphia Experiment", which see and with regard to the enigmatic "Carlos Allende") has made Jessup a subject for segments in a wide variety of documentaries. A nicely-preserved copy of a title which is extremely scarce as the 1963 true first edition. L63.

Book First Edition
Stapled Pages. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Clarksburg, WV: Gray Barker, 1956. First Editions. The first four issues of Barker's The Saucerian Bulletin, those being March, May, September and October of 1956 (volume 1, numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4). Octavo, corner stapled leaves, each 6 pp (three leaves). Remarkably nicely preserved; mailling folds, small rubber stamp of original subscriber on each, last leaf of one issue has pulled off its staple, else, really, near fine, with only minimal age toning. The very first volume, all four issues, of one of the earliest serials produced by Barker, an iconic promoter of UFO research in the early days who is now seen by many as a controversial figure of debatable motives, and one who almost certainly did take part in at least one hoax. He nonetheless did - at the time, more than almost anyone else - publicize, in his books and periodicals, actual (still unexplained) sightings and incidents; He was as instrumental as anyone in early dissemination of information about the "Men In Black" phenomenon, still a larger-than-life mystery - perhaps with some actuality, perhaps only as a psychological symbol for distrust of the still-reticent government entities involved with unidentified aerial phenomena. In any case, these Saucerian Bulletins - small, short, and unpretentious - are extraordinarily rare symbols themselves of what was going on in those early years of the modern UFO era. Lsmph5.
